How to download file backups using R1soft

Downloading your website files this way is useful if your disk space is close to full, as the cPanel Backup Wizard tool will increase your disk space while it creates a backup. This method will download the files only from the automatic backups made with R1soft. It won't download the database which may also be required. If you need to download the database click here for a guide on exporting the database file using PHPMyAdmin.

Step 1 - Log into cPanel and click on the R1soft Restore Backups icon.
